Sigmund,
The driver was only able to get into this function without priv->cfg
being defined, because m920x passes in NULL as cfg.
In my opinion, this is flawed by design, and m920x should pass in an
empty structure rather than a NULL pointer, but I understand why
people might disagree with that.
With that said, your patch looks good and I see that it fixes the
issue. Please provide a sign-off so that your fix can be integrated
and you will receive credit for your work.
